I don't believe the failure of journalism is journalists' fault. It's their owners driving revenues, and their editors obeying orders. I know a few journalists at various stages of their career, and they are worked, run hard, not paid, and discarded at every turn.
Case in point how revenues drive journalism to failure: Trump was never qualified as a candidate for POTUS, but his candidacy was good for news revenues. And here we are, with the fallout of that desire for revenues over journalistic integrity: on the brink of a destroyed democracy, and 1 of two political parties largely populated by insane illogical and desperate.
